What is a petition?

A petition is a formal request for the council to consider a particular matter or to take a specified course of action. A petition must relate to something that the council does or for which it has a responsibility.

We welcome petitions and recognise that this is one way in which local people can raise concerns.

We have a Petitions Scheme which aims to ensure that all written and electronic petitions are dealt with in a consistent and coherent way.

Our Petitions Guide details the scope of petitions and eligibility criteria, along with the procedure that we follow on receipt of your petition.
